At a greeting exchange programme organised here in the Capital on Friday by All Nepal Women Association to mark Nepali women's cultural festival, 'Jitiya 2072', leader Oli asserted that the border embargo would come to an end soon through the means of dialogue.
"Efforts are underway to break the blockade through dialogue. No need to worry. The friendly relations between Nepal and India would grow further," he added.
Nepal as landlocked country possesses the right to get connected with the sea port, he said, adding that Nepali people are happy over the adoption of a new constitution despite border blockade.
As per the special agreement among the political parties, they would carry out the post-earthquake reconstruction and complete the backlog of constitutiuon after forming a national government soon, he further said.
He went on saying that, "It is wrong to spread rumour that the constitution has not addressed the rights and welfare of Terai people. It is not sane to misinterpret the constitution to bring the country to anarchy."
The UML Chair claimed that the constitutional guarantee of 33 per cent women participation in every state organs and 40 per cent women at local bodies is quite an appreciative development.
On the occasion, UML Vice-Chairperson Bidhya Devi Bhandari called on to celebrate the Jitiya festival with cheers coinciding the promulgation of a new constitution in the country.
